St Michael, Abergele

Welcome to St Michael's Church

St Michael’s Church is thought to have been built on the site of a Celtic clas church. The dedication to St Michael dates from the medieval period.

St Michael is one of the four archangels; the other three being Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel. St Michael is often shown slaying a dragon, illustrating Revelation Ch. 12:7 where Michael and his angels defeat the dragon and his angels. It is easy to tell that it is St Michael not St George who is portrayed, as archangels are usually shown with wings and there is no princess waiting to be rescued. In the church there are two stained glass windows showing St Michael and there is a wooden statue of him over the lych gate.
